Chapter 90: Five Gifts
The news of Elda's imminent arrival made Li Tianhao excited for a few days.
After Brooks' mission to Arubania, Li Tianhao spent the most boring period of his life. Due to the demise of Yaji, Li Tianhao lost the goal of his struggle, and although Wei Song pointed out a new goal for him to govern Palchi, the mobilization rate of this goal for Li Tianhao's exuberant energy was much lower than before. After all, most of the work of government affairs has been handled quite decently by Wei Song, Lysius, Bodeka, Xie Wuda and other cadres, and only some important decisions and emergencies need to be decided by Li Tianhao. But the probability of this kind of thing is quite small, so Li Tianhao signs his name more at his desk every day than deals with government affairs, which makes him somewhat have the illusion of having nothing to do. What's more critical is that Brooks and his party took Muller and Alam, and Senas also went to Port Portsmo, and the absence of all the most troublesome people in the Dils army made other common sense people with "conscience" feel relieved, but it made Li Tianhao even more bored.
As a result, Li Tianhao's spirit has obviously become decadent, and the senior generals who are aware of Li Tianhao's situation have also talked about this topic many times in private, and they all agree that Li Tianhao may not realize that he may not realize that he is actually the same as Aram, Senas and Brooks in his bones, but he has to put on a strict shell due to his own identity, so these troublemakers have become his spiritual vents, Under the inadvertent arrangement, the absence of all these troublemakers just stimulated his problems in this regard. It is a pity that although everyone has found the root of the problem, there is no solution to the problem - there is no war to divert his attention, and these "conscience factions" cannot be uncharacteristically identical, so that the helpless Jimda even laments that it would be nice if something big could happen, and of course his irresponsible complaint is despised by all his colleagues.
Elda's arrival has changed Li Tianhao's mental state very well, because Elda returned to Lee's hometown of Paz after Yaki's demise, and informed Li's mother that the vengeance had been avenged, and at the same time, Elda was finally able to marry Li Tianhao's sister as she wished, and this time he was not only Li's subordinate, but also Li's brother-in-law. Although Li Tianhao has a headache with his mother's nagging, anyone can understand his homesickness after being away from home for nine years, so it is a good thing for him to know the news of his hometown from Elda's mouth anyway.
After six full days of Li Tianhao's untargeted excitement, Elda finally arrived at Ehititon. Li Tianhao's welcome ceremony was not grand, but it was fifty miles away from the city, and Xie Wuda and Pokel also accompanied him as members of the original Li family's business group. Needless to say, the greetings after the two sides met, Li Tianhao and the other three pulled Elda to ask long and short questions, eager to ask all the things that have happened in the past few years.
Elda's mouth was that no matter how sharp he was, he couldn't stand the continuous bombardment of three mouths, and he deliberately used silence to win the silence of the three people, and then he spoke: "Young master, my subordinates' experience this time will be slowly narrated in the future, anyway, I won't be able to leave for a while." But there is one thing that I have to say right now, I have found a gift for the young master. ”
"Oh? What is that? Li Tianhao's eyes lit up. It stands to reason that Li Tianhao has been floating all over the world since he was a child, and he has seen countless treasures in this world, and it should not be an ordinary thing to be able to be taken out as a gift by Elda solemnly.
Elda made a mysterious appearance and took a wooden box from her subordinate's hand.
The chest looked unremarkable, and Elda opened it to reveal an iron rod wrapped in brocade.
"But what is this?" Even the well-informed Li Tianhao and Pokel were puzzled by this, and the two picked up the iron rod and looked it up and down, but they still didn't know each other.
Elda explained with a smile: "Young master, don't worry, listen to me slowly." Fortunately, only the three of you are here today, and this place is far away from the city of Ashtidon, so I dare to take it out. This thing is not trivial, it is one of the top secrets of the Silk Country. ”
"The Land of Silk? Top Secret? Li Tianhao's eyes were confused, obviously not understanding how this iron rod could become a top secret.
Elda continued: "The young master doesn't know that when the Silk Country fought against Goryeo, he mobilized the Shenji Battalion to participate in the battle, and the Shenji Battalion was equipped with this iron rod, and its name was Firebolt. Don't look at it as inconspicuous, but it's a powerful weapon. It is filled with special powder and projectiles, once launched, it is earth-shattering, powerful, although the range is not as good as that of a bow and crossbow, and the accuracy is poor, but it has a stronger penetration ability than a bow and crossbow. The country of silk once defeated the attack of ten times the enemy with hundreds of firearms of the Shenji battalion, and the Koreans suffered countless losses from this small thing. ”
Li Tianhao said curiously: "This little thing is so powerful? ”
"Exactly, young master. The country of silk is strictly secret about this thing, and the soldiers of the non-Shenji battalion don't even want to touch it, and after each use, they must count and check it to prevent it from spreading outside. ”
Pokel touched the surface of the firebolt and asked, "Then how did you get this thing?" ”
Elda replied, "We got it by luck. A few years ago, there was a naval battle between the country of silk and Goryeo near Oushan in Goryeo, when the fleet of Goryeo attacked the Oushan area, the fleet of the country of silk was not in Oushan, so a man named Wang Hanxin who led the army transferred the Shenji battalion to the ship, and then used the strategy to break the main force of the fleet of Goryeo. But after all, this was a battle with a huge disparity in strength, and the casualties in the battle were not small, including many soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and after the battle, they could not accurately count the loss of weapons, because many people fell into the water and died. It so happened that one of our small boats was near this sea area at that time, and in order to avoid being drawn into the battlefield, we lurked and witnessed the whole process of the battle. After the battle, they waited for the two sides to retreat before they came out, and it took four full days to salvage the firecracker. Later, it took a lot of trouble to find the medicine for the launch, and then it was handed over to me and dedicated to the young master. ”
"It's been a lot of fun." Li Tianhao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, this small iron rod traveled across the country and sent it to his own hands, during which the Li family business group must have paid a considerable price for it: "Otherwise, how about we try the power of this thing now?" ”
"Yes." Elda saluted, then took the firearm from Li Tianhao's hand, and turned out the bag containing gunpowder in the box, and operated it step by step. He ordered his followers to place a log twenty paces away, then hung a pair of sub-unit armor on it, and lit the fuse with a slight aim with a fire gun.
With a loud bang, a flame burst out, and after a thick smoke cleared, Li Tianhao and the others stepped forward to check the armor, which had been pierced by seven or eight holes! (To be continued.) )
